Descriptions

Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS) allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (connectivity loss) or steal credentials via a 1Ch registration that causes WINS to change the domain controller to point to a malicious server. NOTE: this problem may be limited when Windows 95/98 clients are used, or if the primary domain controller becomes unavailable.

Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS), permite atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio (pérdida de conexión) o el robo de credenciales a través de una inscripción 1Ch que hace que WINS se cambie de controlador de dominio para apuntar a un servidor malicioso. NOTA: este problema puede estar limitado cuando se usan clientes Windows 95/98, o si el primer controlador de dominio no está disponible.
